In this episode visual artist Eric Beltz and I have a powerful dialogue surrounding his art practice and what he means by devotional drawings. We talk about the path of pursing art, the role of the artist, and the ways in which our practice as artists can influence our lives for better and sometimes for worse. We discuss the nature of making art in this 21st century landscape and the ways in which expanded consciousness plays a part in connecting to more universal truths surrounding our lives. ------------------------------------------------ ericbeltz.com Eric Beltz is a pencil artist who lives and works in Santa Barbara.
